Is it just me but the refresh rate on the forum is really slow tonight. Some times when I want to post anything it takes forever and sometimes have to do it again. All other sites are fine just Idnet forum that is playing up.
I am having the same problem
a little bit but not a great deal.
I have noticed lately for me that some sites take a while to load fully in Firefox, the bar gets very close to loaded then hangs a tad before finishing

Yes I have noticed it too but have found it to be variable!
I noticed it enough to run a speed test a couple of minutes ago over at BroadbandMax and that came up about as good as I ever get. :thumb:

Same here - was happening intermittently earlier on today as well. :(
I have just tried here:
http://www.idnet.net/solutions/homelite.jsp
and it took over 20 seconds to load!
I was trying to post earlier on, and the page took 87 seconds to load!!! :(
It seems there may be a server issue, as PC Pals is also running intermittently slowly, and we share the same server. IDNet have been informed of the problem.
IDNetters is running quite slowly for me. I'd imagine it's an issue with the web server it's hosted on.
Actually, it seems better at the moment.
Yep, seems okay here now. It must be your presence, Simon. :)
;D
IDNet have allocated us some extra memory this morning (thanks, Martin :thumb:), so hopefully the problem should be resolved.
Nice one.. :thumb:
Thanks. :thumb:
Noticed it yesterday and more so today that when I hover over the forum post links etc it takes a while for them to become active and accessible. :)
I've not seen any issues since the extra RAM was allocated yesterday morning, Steve. :( Could it be a DNS problem?
I don't know? Web page access was slow yesterday similar to what others have mentioned.Today web page access is fine, its just that if I try to access say the the last post in a particular section from the forum index sometimes but not always it can take several seconds for that particular link to become active.I assuming there is delay somewhere in the chain in allowing those links to become active.
I know we've been straining the server recently, hence the extra RAM. I'll check everything is optimised from our side.

I noticed it yesterday as well Rik - not so much today, but it wasn't DNS because every other web page I tried was fine - also the same on my works machine and my lappy :(
OK, thanks. :)
The problem may also be related to DNS issues - see here. (http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=8403.msg186585#msg186585)
I wasn't using IDNet DNS servers yesterday and this morning Rik - I was using my work connection.
However, things do seem to have been Ok since early this morning....
Agreed, not experiencing any delay at present in any of the links to posts becoming active,but have since switched to open dns but not sure why that should change matters.

Hopefully, the changes that have been made to the server will have done the job, Mad, but it's possible that there was an element of DNS slowing the link lookup.

It's just possible, Steve, that there was an element of DNS delay on the links.
Back on idnet dns now and it "feels" as it usually does quicker than open dns.
Normal or reversed servers, Steve?
Sorry, still on normal
Fancy trying the reverse? :)
I have and it was the highlight of the first half for me. ;D
